Stille reaction
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In organic chemistry, the Stille reaction couples a stannane with a aryl, benzyl, or vinyl halide or triflate.
In overview:
R1-X + R2-M → R1-R2 + M-X
- R1 and R2 have sp2 hybridization as in a phenyl or vinyl substituent
- M is often tin but can also be boron, zirconium or zinc
- the catalyst is based on palladium
